Cut the yarn and finish off.

• Handle

Using the black yarn

Insert your hook into the bucket and connect the black yarn, chain 40 (or more if you want the handle bigger). Once you reach the desired length, take your hook out of the chains and into the bucket. Count 21 stitches from where you inserted the black yarn and insert your hook into the 21th stitch. Then attach the black yarn to the hook and sl st across the handle.

Once you finish sl st on the back side of the chains of the handle, cut the yarn and finish off. Weave in any excess yarn.

• Pumpkin Face

You can either use felt to make the eyes, nose, and mouth. Or you can embroider/stitch them by hand. I went with the latter.

Add some candy to the bucket. Aaaaand you are done!
